Milano Rum Festival & Barmetro Diamond 2003
Sipped neat, this Diamond leans into wood, roasted notes and citrus, with chocolate and a touch of licorice/anise on the palate. At 55.8% it's full-bodied and punchy but not aggressive. The catch a few tasters flag: the sweetness runs heavier than expected for a Guyanese Demerara — one even mistook it for a sweet-wine-finished cask in a blind lineup.
The community says- Deep and complex
- Full-bodied at 55.8%

The look inside the bottle
How does Milano Rum Festival & Barmetro Diamond 2003 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Woody, roasted Demerara with heavy sweetness Well-made, deep and complex Demerara that most enjoy neat, though a couple find the sweetness laid on a bit thick and the refinement not quite top-tier.

Review by N’ours
A great success. Atypical markers, a deep, well-worked and well-balanced rum, with a lovely finish, a little bitter but full-bodied.
Review by alex
An excellent wine. Good length. Very good, powerful, complex rum.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Very full-bodied and intense. Beautiful Demerara rum!
Review by Jakob
Pleasing Diamond, heavy sweetness, spice, wood, some citrus notes - good release, though without the very big sophistication.

Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
If I had not known better (but error excluded), I could have sworn stone and stone, this would be the parallel tasted SBS Diamond Versailles 2003 (Marsala finish, RX4341) because of a strongly perceptible sweet wine barrel. [In principle, nice rum, which you really do not notice its Guyana origin, but for me a tad too thickly applied sweetness. Ideal to lead someone on a blind tasting nicely on the ice. 🤣
Review by Oliver
